Hard work after winning the lottery

A massive amount of money, flowing out like a never-ending stream.

The two million yuan for building the house has been mostly spent, and the money for contracting Xishan and repairing the primary school has also been paid in full.

Although Wang Jianjun was honest and simple, he kept clear accounts. Every day, he would write down his expenses on a crumpled piece of paper in the evening and hand it to Hua Yun for review.

As she watched the numbers steadily increase, the elation she felt from winning the lottery had long since settled into a heavy sense of responsibility.

She knew better than anyone that if you just sit around and do nothing, even a mountain of gold will turn into a pile of dirt.

That evening, after seeing off the last neighbor who came to visit, Hua Yun did not go to bed early as usual.

She locked herself in her new room.

In the room, on the brand-new computer desk, sat a top-of-the-line gaming laptop that his younger brother, Hua'an, had been eyeing for a long time.

But right now, it's not for playing games.

Hua Yun took a deep breath and opened her laptop.

The pale blue light of the screen reflected on her calm yet resolute face, her pupils gleaming with the light of data.

She skillfully logged into her online banking account.

A long string of numbers lay quietly in the fixed deposit column.

Seventeen million.

This is her and her family's future security, and a reassurance for the whole family.

Her fingers hovered over the keyboard, hesitating for a moment.

In the past, she worried about rent of several thousand yuan and silently calculated next month's expenses late at night for a project bonus that was delayed.

She never imagined she would one day have to think about how to spend three million.

The feeling was unfamiliar, yet tinged with a strange sense of dread.

Fingertips fall.

"Transfer amount: 3,000,000.00 yuan".

"confirm."

Without any hesitation or delay.

With a crisp "click" of the mouse, a section of the long string of numbers instantly disappeared.

But Hua Yun's heart felt more at peace than ever before.

She knew that the money hadn't disappeared; it would return to her life in a more solid way.

Then, she opened a blank Excel spreadsheet.

This was something she hated most in her past life, yet it was also something she knew best.

Countless late nights, she would stare at similar spreadsheets, creating PowerPoint presentations for her boss, analyzing revenue and profits that had nothing to do with her.

And now, this form belongs to her.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard, so fast they almost left afterimages.

Project special funds: 3,000,000 yuan.

Column A: Items.

Column B, Budget.

Column C: Actual expenditures.

Column D, Remarks.

"Sheep farm infrastructure construction costs", "First batch of lamb purchases", "Forage seeds and planting", "Feed reserves", "Water and electricity facilities", "Disease prevention drugs"...

Each item was clearly listed, and the budget was precisely allocated to each project.

The logic is clear and well-organized.

The next morning, Wang Jianjun came over, holding several receipts in his hand, looking somewhat flustered.

"Boss Hua, well... look, the steel supplier is pressing for the first payment, and there's also the workers' wages for this week..."

He's an honest person, and he's too embarrassed to ask for money unless absolutely necessary.

"Brother Wang, you've come at the perfect time."

Hua Yun seemed to have anticipated his arrival, and directly took out the signed contract from inside the house and handed it over.

"According to the contract, once the foundation and main frame are completed, I should pay 50% of the project cost."

She took out her phone, opened the bank app, and in front of Wang Jianjun, her fingers flew across the screen.

"Please verify the receiving account, and I'll transfer the money right away."

Wang Jianjun was stunned.

He thought he would have to spend a lot of time explaining, and was even prepared for the other party to hold back the payment for a few days.

did not expect……

"Ding-dong!"

His phone beeped with a crisp notification sound.

Wang Jianjun's hands trembled as he took out his phone and opened the text message.

[Your account ending in XXXX received RMB 850,000.00 on [Date]...]

One, two, three, four, five... five zeros!

850,000!

Wang Jianjun's hand holding the phone trembled like a leaf falling in the autumn wind.

"Boss Hua, you're...you're being way too generous!"

His dark face flushed red with excitement.

"Only if the money is paid in full can the project proceed without problems."

Hua Yun smiled slightly, put her phone away, and spoke in a calm tone that was full of undeniable power.

"Brother Wang, I only have one request: quality and speed. You must guarantee those."

"Don't worry!"

Wang Jianjun thumped his chest loudly, as if he had made a solemn pledge.

"I guarantee it will be built quickly and sturdily! Anyone who dares to slack off or try to cut corners, I'll be the first to kick them off the West Mountain!"

The timely arrival of funds acted like a shot in the arm, accelerating the entire Xishan construction site once again.

Hua Yun's gaze had already moved beyond the steel and concrete in front of her, reaching into a more distant place.

The sheep farm is built, but where are the sheep?

She didn't blindly follow the advice of the village elders and buy a batch of goods at a market in a neighboring county.

Her goal is to build a modern sheep farm.

Therefore, the source must be science.

Over the next few days, Hua Yun spent his days overseeing the construction site and his nights working as an "agricultural researcher."

Her mobile browser contained links to dozens of agricultural websites and livestock forums.

"Lake sheep have a high reproduction rate, giving birth twice a year, with multiple lambs per litter, making them suitable for pen breeding."

"Small-tailed Han sheep are large in size and have a high meat yield, but they also have high requirements for concentrated feed."

She took out her pen and quickly jotted down the advantages and disadvantages of different varieties, their market prices, and the main species being raised in her notebook.

First, introduce 100 high-producing Hu sheep as foundation ewes, and then crossbreed them with several strong, high-quality small-tailed Han sheep rams for improvement.

This ensures both rapid growth in numbers and optimized meat production performance in offspring.

She strictly controlled the budget to within 500,000 yuan.

Money should be spent wisely.

Having solved the problem of "soldiers," the next step is "supplies."

What sheep eat directly affects the cost and efficiency of raising them.

Hua Yun did not choose traditional corn stalks; instead, she set her sights on two high-yield forage grasses.

"King of Herbs" is known as "Elephant Grass" because it grows quickly, has a high yield, and is rich in nutrients.

Ryegrass has a good taste and is rich in protein, making it a favorite snack for cattle and sheep.

She used the contact information she found online to directly call a grass seed breeding company affiliated with the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

On the other end of the phone, the operator's voice carried a hint of formulaic politeness.

"Hello, this is Luyuan Seed Industry."

"Hello, I need to order a batch of Napier grass and ryegrass seeds, enough to sow 200 acres."

Hua Yun's tone was crisp and to the point.

There was a noticeable pause on the other end of the phone, as if the person was somewhat surprised by the purchase volume.

"May I ask which organization or large farm you are from?"

"Baixi Village, a private farm," Hua Yun replied calmly.

"..."

After a brief silence, the other person's tone became more professional and enthusiastic.

After detailed communication, both parties finalized the seed type, price, and delivery method.

An electronic contract was quickly sent to Huayun's email address.

After carefully reviewing the document, she completed the signing and deposit payment online.

The whole process took no more than half an hour.

After hanging up the phone, Hua Yun looked out the window at the land in Xishan that was being cultivated, her eyes sparkling.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

She turned and walked out of the house, heading straight for her father, Hua Shu, who was weaving bamboo baskets in the yard.

"Dad, can you do me a favor?"

Hua Shu looked up, her calloused hands stopping what they were doing: "What is it, daughter?"

"Who in the village is the best at farming? I'd like to ask my four uncles to help me turn over the land I've leveled on West Hill so I can plant grass."

Upon hearing this, Hua Shu grinned, revealing a set of teeth that were slightly yellowed from smoking.

"You've come to the right person about this."

He stood up, brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, and looked on with pride.

"You wait, Dad will find you some of the best land-farming people in the village!"
